It doesn't MAKE SENSE. But you'll still want one! 2024 Fiat 500e electric car review

- It costs too much, doesn't have enough range, and it's tiny. But that's why the Fiat 500e is AWESOME.
Yep, it is one of the most illogical choices for buyers who want an electric car -- especially if you consider the price ($52,500 AUD plus on-road costs), the range (311km WLTP) and the size of it (three doors, tiny boot).
But this is the most charming little electric car I've driven. It's more fun than plenty of its rivals, has a heap of really lovely details and design elements that make it look and feel special, and it's Italian! Che bella!

We own a 500e. Love it 😍
love your review! I just pre-ordered mine in the US. I cannot wait!
Thanks for that. Great to hear.
My 2013 gas Fiat 500 is still going strong. Love the car.
Just discovered your channel. You do an amazing job, and I love that you mostly review "real people" cars, not crazy stuff most people aren't buying. Keep it up, great stuff! BTW probably getting this pink color of the 500e when it hits the U.S. market later this year. She has an older IC 500, and has always loved it.
Thanks so much. Glad you like the way I do things!
And the pink-orange-peach colour is really beautiful. 🤩
I want one,even thought I don't need one.
Ha! Exactly!!
I have recently bought one for my wife and we both love it! Actually if we’re going out together we always take the Fiat instead of my Mercedes! We love the way it drives, the way it looks and the fact that when we get back we simply plug it in in the garage! It’s certainly not for those who buy their pants from Kmart though, that’s for sure.
Posher
If you've purchased your cars on finance, you're in no position to judge. Be more humble buddy
There are so many better ways you could have written this comment. You can enthuse your love of the car without being derisive about others or their place of pant buying choices.
@@missemd22Although I actually believe that statement to be true, my intention was not to offend. I meant it is very expensive for what it is. My apologies if you have been offended.
@@sinabakhshalian6752you don’t need to apologize for being funny yet getting the point across. Fiat 500s have never been marketed as “affordable” cars.
It's a lovely little car, perfect for the daily city commute.
That was a really fair review. Nice job.
Thanks mate! Fair, balanced and unbiased -- that's my way!
It's definitely got the charm and it will appeal to that niche group of people, but it's too expensive! Hopefully Fiat Australia brings out a cheaper entry level spec next year. The Fiat 600e compact SUV could be the kick start Fiat needs here, if it gets the greenlight for an Australian release.
Will be interesting to see how the upcoming Peugeot e-208 hatch fares when that lands too.
I've actually stayed at the Lingotto hotel in Turin that was the former site for the Fiat factory. We also did the walk around the very top (roof top) of the building where they used to test drive the vehicles. Had spectacular views and a great experience. Also went to the Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile in Turin, which should also be on any 'car lovers' to do list's while in the city.
Thanks for your comment mate. And yep, you’re spot on, so let’s see what happens with Fiat next year.
And I can’t wait to see how Peugeot prices the e-208!
Ooh, lovely. I’ve been to Turin too, and the place feels steeped with automotive history! What an experience.
Great video
Looks like fun, and that recharge mode is fantastic. I’ve always liked Fiat 500’s, and have a mate who has a slightly historic petrol one. This would win my heart quite easily, but head rules. I’d love to drive, but not own one, a great little city car, that’s for sure! Great review of a little car that offers plenty.
This thing is hot !!!! Take my cash !
Love it - probably pick one up. The Volvo EX-30 will give it a run for the money in the US.
That was a great and funny, honest review. It's so adorable looking and I love the retro look interior . The front lights look like eyes ... lol. But the price is too steep.
Thanks! Glad you liked it. If money was no object and I lived in a city, this would be a great runaround.
Very concise and well structured video! 👏👏👏👏 and really cute car 😍😍 Here in Spain there are also other less equipped variants, more affordable 👍
Thanks mate! Glad you liked it. It would be a whole different thing if we had a lower spec model with 220km range for, say, $35,000 AUD!
@@therightcar Yes, it changes the situation completely! I'm interested in having all the driver assist functions, and that's why if I purchase a 500e it would have to be the top model, but the less expensive models are really interesting 👍👍
Good luck with it!
It must have been a good watch seeing you squished fitting your daughters car seat 🙃
I would definitely choose between 500e and COOPER other two cars aren’t that “stylish” from my standpoint.
my best friend was conceived in a fiat. anything is possible if u put ur mind to it.
Ha! Was it a Multipla?
Makes perfect sense. I drive less than 150 miles a month.
For that kind of money, though? Surely you could just car share or use a subscription?
It is very cute and has some elements of Italian style. It is as you say zippy and fun but at $52k (+ORCs) is a lot of money. It's obviously meant as a city runabout for one person or maybe a couple or perhaps a second car for doing all the running around but when compared to Chinese models you mention it doesn't represent value for money. I'm pretty sure it won't be on the shopping list for me.
Heyy , really nice video, I was wondering if I can help you by better video editing and also make highly engaging short. Let me know to have my portfolio or your edited sample video.
Cheers,
Rajvir Singh
Thanks mate. I am sticking with my style - appreciate the offer.
@@therightcar Do you wanna have a sample edit for your next video
Fiats are amazing cars. The issue with this model is the price tag. Way too much.
Should I show the sample edit for one of your videos??
I like the little car fiat 500 but only if it is a gas car. I don't like the idea of charging at all. I love tiny car. I like the two tone interior.
So you haven’t had an EV, yet you’re not open to the idea of one? Why?
No way is an MG4 an alternative. After sitting in one I was left thinking ... really??? ... It may be good in other ways, but the interior is cheap...really cheap. The GWM Ora is a bit better but the cost is getting close to that of the FIAT.
No, you are wrong about the MG4, the interior is minimalist, not cheap. Perhaps study one closely before you make an ill informed comment. Certainly for its price point it is ok as mentioned in just about every review on the car.
@@wigs1098 Didn't you read my comment? I was at an EV expo today and sat in many EV's. Cheap is exactly how to describe it. Apart from an old Barina that was converted to electric, that one stood out. There were Tesla's, Volvo's, Polestar's, BYD's, Cupra's, Hyundai's, KIA's, etc. All had some good points and some had bad points.
@@colossus_gthat’s a lot of incorrect apostrophe usage in one comment! Hint: apostrophes are never used for plurals.
@@alexaescht OK, but I had a point to make. You can buy a mid spec Mazda 3 for cheaper than that. Granted it is an ICE, but it would look like a million dollars in comparison.
You have a problem. And the baby seat are mounted in reverse..
Byd dolphin or mg4
No way you spend 50k for that thing. If its 35k or under probably hv a chance to compete but not 50k
Not everyone thinks with their wallet.
@@therightcar of course if youre buying exotic cars or sports cars like maseratti or alfa romeo, but an "economic" EV with gimmick n impracticality, i dont think so.
But unfortunately youre right.
Do they still go rusty withing a few yrs old?
Is it more than 25,000 in cash? (USD) if so, there are better option's out there,
That’s going to depend on the trim. Initially, only the higher-spec, more expensive trims are more expensive. But that should change.
Steering wheel controls straight out of the Mitsubishi 380 😂
Hahaha
*googles Mitsubishi 380 steering wheel controls*
I haven't stopped laughing over $50,000 for that. For a start it's a Fiat. Good way to loose $50,000. I have thought some previous EV,s were overpriced this makes them look like a bargain.
If car reviewers would review women, they'd first ask, how much does she cost, second, what other females are available in that price category, thirdly, how is her ass.
What I am trying to say is, why is every damn car reviewer using the same dumb approach to reviewing a car in a completely nonsensical and backwards way. What do I do with a car? I DRIVE it.
You dont need to show me the trunk first.
Looks ugly though imagine buying it on finance and u look at it every day
Ugly? Mate.
okay, over priced vw owner. haha.
